the synthesis

Two halves, one mind.

Full-stack developer and doctoral researcher based in Helsinki, Finland. I build React, TypeScript and Node.js products — lately a lot of LLM-powered ones — and I research how AI changes the way marketing is taught and learned.

01 — research

How AI reshapes the way we learn.

Doctoral researcher in Business Studies (Marketing and Consumption Research) at the University of Vaasa Graduate School, since January 2025.

My doctoral work looks at ai applications in marketing education — what changes when students learn marketing alongside AI, and how to measure it honestly. Nissi Foundation doctoral scholarship, 2025–2026.

02 — code

const build = () => useful;

I ship full-stack products end to end — lately, the kind where language models do real work behind a clean interface.

ClashbotsAI debate arena

Two LLMs debate a spicy topic across three rounds while a panel of four AI judges scores them and returns explainable JSON verdicts. A comedy show that doubles as a live model-evaluation benchmark.

CognifyAI decision pathfinder

An interactive, node-based decision journey: ask a question, get AI-generated options, branch through paths and receive a summary — with Claude, GPT, Gemini or DeepSeek as the engine.
